Reseal/resurface taxiway; reseal/resurface apron; reseal/resurface taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Great Lakes Region, awarded $105,000 to the Barnes County Municipal Airport Authority on July 16, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). This Project Grant funds Phase 1 design activities for a comprehensive pavement preservation initiative at Barnes County Municipal Airport serving Valley City, North Dakota. The project encompasses the design of resealing and resurfacing work for three airport infrastructure components: 16,082 square yards of general aviation apron pavement and joints, 2,011 linear feet of hangar taxilane pavement, and 360 linear feet of Taxiway A pavement. These design services are intended to support subsequent construction phases that will extend the useful life of existing airport pavements at this nonprimary airport facility.

The grant award addresses critical airport infrastructure maintenance needs through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, which provides federal funding to support the development and modernization of airport infrastructure across the United States. The four-year project period extends through July 15, 2029, allowing sufficient time for design completion and potential progression to construction phases. This funding aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of operational excellence and infrastructure resilience while supporting the regional aviation transportation system.
